This walking track was nicknamed “the horse track” by me and my family over 10 years ago as we occasionally see people on horses using it as a riding trail.
You can access the trail on Old Gympie road. there is a driveway with enough space to park off to the side. walk past the gate and you are on the trail! it is nestled between private properties. During the summer school holidays, when my brother and I were younger, we would often ride our bikes through the track into town on a Sunday. we would buy a sausage roll and drink from the bakery, walk across to the park, sit on top of the fake train in the playground and watch the real trains fly past on the tracks. I have many fond memories of this trail. It is a lovely walk. or even better, ride a bike like I used to!
Growing up I have always had a strong liking towards native bird life. here are a some that I’ve identified along this track for you to look out for:
Red-browed Finch
Wompoo Fruit Dove
Yellow-Throated Scrubwren
Eastern Yellow Robin
Rufous Whistler
Grey Fantail
Golden Whistler
if you are quiet you might be able to spot a few!
I would love to hear about what birds you see!!
Please be advised that the area and most of the track is subject to flooding during the rainy parts of the year and the track can become a bit muddy. It is usually fairly quiet and you can see potential muggles coming from a fair way away.
The cache in question is a small camouflaged container with a snap lock lid. Inside is a logbook, pencil & a few swaps. happy hunting!
